+3 IntelliTouch Systems: Feature Circuits, Macro circuits, and Color Set, Color Swim lighting features
are only available with IntelliTouch +3 system models. The IntelliTouch +3 system models are: i7+3 (P/N
520505), i9+3S (P/N 520508), i9+3 (P/N 520509), i10+3 (P/N 520510). For more information, refer to
"IntelliTouch Personality Kits," page 2.
802.11: Refers to a family of specifications developed by the IEEE for Wireless LAN technology. 802.11
specifies an over-the-air interface between a wireless client and a base station or between two wireless
clients and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band using either frequency hopping
spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS).
802.11b: An extension to 802.11 that applies to Wireless LANs (WLAN) and provides 11 Mbps
transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b uses only DSSS.
Throughput data rate is 5+ Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.
802.11g: An extension to 802.11 that applies to Wireless LANs (WLAN) and provides 54 Mbps
transmission (with a fallback to 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 24, 36, and 48 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band.
802.11g uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). Throughput data rate is 11+ Mbps in
the 2.4 GHz band.
Access Point: An Access Point (AP) is stand-alone wireless hub that allows any computer that has a
wireless network adapter to communicate with another computer and to connect to the Internet.
Client computer: The computer that gets its Internet connection by sharing either the host computer's
connection or the Access Point's connection.
Expansion Kit: A kit that includes additional auxiliaries to an existing Personality Kit. Requires a Load
Center for each Expansion Kit.
Feature Circuits: Programmable circuits that may control Macro circuits, relays and/or valve actuators.
Freeze Protection: A circuit with freeze protection circulates water to protect pipes from freezing, if the
outdoor air temperature sensor detects the temperature is getting close to freezing (below 36° F). Refer
to "Setup Circuits (Step 2 of 4)", page 35 for more information.
Gigahertz (GHz): A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000,000 cycles per second.
High Voltage Compartment: Large lower right compartment of Load Center for all high voltage wiring
including circuit breakers, relays, and GFCI.
Host computer: The computer that is directly connected to the Internet using a modem or network
adapter.
Indoor Control Panel: This 14 button remote controller with LCD (liquid crystal display) is wired to the
Personality board in the Power/Load Center. The control panel can be wall mounted inside a house to
control IntelliTouch Systems.
iS4: Four function Spa-Side remote. Can be spa wall or deck mounted.
iS10: Up to ten function spa-side remote with temperature changing capability. Can be spa wall or deck
mounted.
Internet Protocol (IP) address: The address of a computer that is attached to a network. Part of the
address designates which network the computer is on, and the other part represents the host
identification.
LAN: A Local Area Network (LAN) is a high-speed, low-error data network covering a relatively small
geographic area.
